Now this right here, is what I call a true indie. The whole thing is stunning and marvelously done. Now this isn’t your typical romantic comedy film, this is very realistic and focused on a lot more than just two characters and love but more focused on the friendships and work. The characters are really brought to life by the fact that the whole film is improvised. No script, just a synopsis of what the movie was about and let me tell you these wonderful actors did a phenomenal job! I really felt like I was right there with them, with the laughs, camera setting’s, the emotional stuff, all of it. I almost cried at how well this film was made and produced. I highly recommend watching it, it’s realistic, cute, funny, beautiful and just a brilliant film. You also get to see the actors (Anna Kendrick, Ron LIvingston, Olivia Wilde, & Jake Johnson) in a different view, because everything that they’re saying is coming from them, not a script, them. And it’s just mind-blowing and I can’t wait too see more from Joe Swanberg. Watch this very brilliant, stunning, beautiful film. You will laugh, cry, and just fall in love with these characters and actors. Also in this film they really are getting drunk, that just shows how talented they truly are. In my opinion this is the best of 2013.

Drinking Buddies is one of the biggest sorprises of this year, the story could be familiar, but the development is really great (ok, sometimes falls into the known), the script is really smart, and the performances are wow, incredible, Anna Kendrick, Olivia Wilde, Jake M.

Drinking Buddies suffers from a plot too simplistic with characters that are beautifully portrayed but sadly, don't have much to do in this occasionally boring film that attempts to delve deeper into human emotions but only sometimes does it accomplish its goal.

Drinking Buddies is far from a bad film and at its very best, it is a very good film. The acting is good and I love the minimalist nature of it. It all feels very natural and the relationships depicted felt very authentic, making the film all the much better.

It all feels very natural and the relationships depicted felt very authentic, making the film all the much better. However, the film certainly lacked that "it" factor. It may not be bad, but it certainly was missing that special something that made it good and ultimately, lacked interest at many moments and felt very long for a 90 minute film, which is typically a bad thing. The story flowed well for the most part, though it did feel kind of rushed at times and I thought the story was told well for the most part. In addition, the direction was solid and got the job done. Thus, as a whole, Drinking Buddies is a very made, even if not overly entertaining film that provides just enough to get the job done.…Expand

This movie has no story. Its very long and very boring. They drink beer and that about it. Don't waist your time watching this horrible movie. It look like if a college student made a movie about his friend drinking beer.
